Naturally I chose the name xeist.net for it. If you're wondering what the hell Xeist is, don't... it's a paraphrasing of the name the home planet of Highlander and the rest of the immortals in Highlander II (yeah I know, I know... nothing like the original Highlander...)I still haven't figured out if I'm actually going Jinxoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00430992144446953899noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12605048.post-27027725743721981232010-02-13T20:44:00.002+01:002010-02-13T20:51:58.096+01:00New website createdCheck out my latest work: http://orion-ema.grA friend of mine who owns a ship repair business in Greece needed a site so I offered to help out.

Well, lets stop for a minute and allow me to hook you in my shoes...I came to a new country (Germany that is...), I don't speak ANY German (...ok maybe a "Goodmorning" and "Thank you" here and there), I had to find a house, I had a host of small things to take care of (get a bank account, get Jinxoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00430992144446953899noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12605048.post-30616986596747928162007-11-08T13:26:00.000+01:002007-11-08T13:34:50.014+01:00Changing Jobs......is never an easy thing to do. Even if you leave a company that for the last three years has shown the least amount of respect for your efforts. It's truly a strange thing how, at the moment you hand in your resignation, you forget all the bitterness and start having a slight tingling sensation at the back of your head...

I had a telephone interview for a position in Google's Engineering center in Zurich.
